Lithium oxid. The salts of lithium are often considered, according to the principles of the old nomenclature, as compounds of the base lithia with acid radicles, and are named in correspondence with this idea. This method of nomenclature is not used in the U. S. and Br. Ph's. For such salts see under lithium. Many so-called lithia waters contain at most but traces of lithium salts. [Gr.]
